Perspectives on the Non-Human in Literature and Culture

Armstrong P: Disturbing Nature in
Narrative Literature

Disturbing Nature in Narrative Literature

Those of us who identify as multi-cultural and exist in-between and across places, spaces, cultures and languages are in search of poetic means to understand and represent the experiences of being an insider-outsider. This volume responds to that challenge: taking Venice and the Veneto as a creative site, the author demonstrates how poetry focussed on hybrid, interstitial subjectivity can be mapped into this storied location. Using the structuring metaphor of the archipelago, the book exemplifies how the islands of the Venetian lagoon reflect the way that poetry - as individual works that coalesce to form a focussed collection - can be used to create a cartography of the self that is multiple but interconnected. Drawing upon scholarship around literary nomadism, flânerie, self-translation and cultural geography, the author shows how a personal relationship to a creative space opens a Third Space that challenges fixed ideas about belonging, alienation and nationality. In doing so, in-between-ness is revealed as a generative position from which to write and translate poetry.

A Poet’s Guide to Venice and the Veneto

In his prize-winning Sunday Times bestseller, An Immense World, Ed Yong invited us to perceive the world through other animals' senses. Now he transforms our view of the world once again by revealing the hidden wonders of life at different scales.'Utterly extraordinary. Yong's spectacular new book is not just a mesmerizing examination of the wonders of life on Earth; it's no less than a biography of life itself' EMILY ST JOHN MANDELAll around us, just beyond our awareness, life proceeds in astonishing ways. The 100-ton blue whale easily crosses oceans, singing to fellow whales thousands of miles away. Alongside it a bacterium swims in a drop of seawater that is as vast for it as an ocean is to the whale. Hummingbirds move too quickly for us to follow, while plants move too languorously for us to perceive.Every living thing operates at its own scale - the blend of size, range, pace, longevity, and influence that define the contours and rhythms of a life. We tend to think of the human scale as life's default. But in Life Beyond Measure, Ed Yong coaxes us outside of our medium-sized, medium-lived, medium-paced, moderately mobile range and introduces us to entirely new worlds, some that could fit between two grains of sand. Fireflies assembling their luminous chorus; a bristlecone pine that's older than paper rounds the corner of its fifth millennium; shorebirds that fly across the world's biggest ocean without stopping; Pando, a forest that may be a single tree; and a host of other dazzling, disorienting entities expand our understanding of what life can be.Mind-bending, exhilarating, and profound, Life Beyond Measure is a call to cast off our human perspective, to lose ourselves in the vastness and strangeness of nature, and by doing so, to discover how intimately connected to the rest of life we are.

Life Beyond Measure

Innovating Sustainability Strategies

Business Sustainability Toolbox

An intimate exploration of the life, craft, and legacy of one of the most revered and influential writers, an artist who continues to inspire fans and creatives to cultivate practices of deep attention, rigorous interrogation and beautiful style.Joan Didion was a writer's writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist, essayist, novelist and screenwriter, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life's telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers, encouraging them to become close observers of the world, unsentimental critics, and meticulous stylists.An antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens, The World According To Joan Didion is a meditation on the people, places, and objects that propelled Didion's prose and an invitation to journalists, storytellers, and life adventurers to "throw themselves into the convulsions of the world," as she once said.Evelyn McDonnell, the acclaimed journalist, essayist, critic, feminist, native Californian, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion's work, is attuned to interpret Didion's vision for readers today. Inspired by Didion's own words-from her works both published and unpublished-and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped, The World According to Joan Didion is an illustrated journey through her life, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento, Portuguese Bend, Los Angeles, and Malibu to Manhattan, Miami, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as it was seen through Didion's eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc.One of the first books to be published after the revered writer's death in 2021, The World According to Joan Didion is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the world, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café, or on a plane or train, pondering the future: What would Joan Didion have seen?

The World According to Joan Didion

Living Sustainability in Higher Education offers a new way of visualising the university: as an arena in which ideas of sustainability and justice manifest in the daily interactions that occur between students, academics and the myriad communities that live and work in and around campus.Rather than content to be taught, it presents sustainability as something that is lived. Every decision, by individuals, institutions and governments, is simultaneously sustainable and unsustainable, just and unjust. They result in some societal objectives being advanced and others frustrated; one group of stakeholders advantaged over another. The book's central contention is that the totality of the university experience, and the challenges and opportunities that this comprises, enables a person to learn how to navigate these tensions throughout their lifetime.Essential reading for anyone interested in how higher education sustainability can be improved, this key title is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of sustainability learning, environmental justice and nexus. Showcasing pedagogical innovations and best practices using a global range of institutions, a powerful argument is made for higher education to move beyond its current structures and 'ways of doing' to embrace more progressive pedagogies that have sustainability and justice at their core.

Routledge Companions in Business, Management and Marketing

The Routledge Companion to Fashion and Business brings together the latest research in one authoritative volume and engages with the past, present and future of fashion business to explore current and emerging issues. Fashion has expanded its reach into every area of our lives, satisfying a human desire for novelty and expression through self-adornment. Yet overproduction and lack of self-regulation have resulted in an industry previously renowned for its creativity and influence, now making headlines because of its negative environmental and social impacts. Fashion businesses and their customers have shown a desire to move towards a more sustainable, circular fashion system, necessitating changes in design, production, promotion, retail and life cycle management. Fashion straddles many disciplines, including design, economics, psychology, marketing, management and retail, sociology, material and cultural studies, human geography and business ethics. Six thematic parts illustrate the breadth and significance of the fashion industry, written by those actively and currently engaged in its creation, management and critique.Part I introduces the economic history of fashion and the significance of the textiles industry as a driver of industrialisation. Part II introduces key concepts in fashion psychology, consumer behaviour and trend prediction as well as contemporary fashion promotion platforms and practices. Part III explores the links between fashion and place, the changing landscape of fashion retail and the contribution of cultural heritage to emerging economies. Part IV shows how the past influences today's fashion business through archives and exhibits, second-hand vintage and charity retail, reproduction of historical dress and circular fashion initiatives. Part V highlights fashion's environmental and social impacts, reflecting on how fashion activism, regulations, policies and emergent practices can deliver a more sustainable fashion industry. Part VI comprises contributions from activists, entrepreneurs and individuals at the cutting edge of fashion business, offering an engaging collection of opinion pieces that reimagine the future of fashion business.With contributions from a range of highly esteemed international academics, cultural commentators and industry insiders, The Routledge Companion to Fashion and Business is an authoritative reference work for scholars, students and practitioners.

Asian Arguments

Celebrated for its natural beauty and its abundance of wildlife, the Mekong river runs thousands of miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its basin is home to more than 70 million people and has for centuries been one of the world's richest agricultural areas and a biodynamic wonder. Today, however, it is undergoing profound changes. Development policies, led by a rising China in particular, aim to interconnect the region and urbanize the inhabitants. In this new and comprehensively updated edition of Last Days of the Mighty Mekong, Brian Eyler gives his first-hand account of the impact on the river of the tumultuous political period since the book's original publication. From the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic and a devastating drought to the increasing political tensions and resource competition between China and Trump-era America, Eyler recounts his own increasing involvements in international efforts to protect this precious and delicate environment. Along the way he meets the region's diverse peoples, from villagers to community leaders, politicians to policy makers. Through conversations with them he reveals the urgent struggle to save the Mekong and its unique ecosystem.

Last Days of the Mighty Mekong

A radical retelling of human history through collapse - from the dawn of our species to the urgent existential threats of the twenty-first century and beyond.** FEATURED IN THE NEW BBC SERIES CIVILISATIONS: RISE AND FALL ** ** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER **'A brilliant, utterly convincing account of the evolution of human society and why we are probably reaching humanity's end days' HENRY MARSH'Absolutely essential reading for understanding why past civilisations collapsed, and how to protect our own from the same fate' LEWIS DARTNELLFor the first 300,000 years of human history, hunter-gathering Homo sapiens lived in fluid, egalitarian civilizations that thwarted any individual or group from ruling permanently. Then, around 12,000 years ago, that began to change.As we reluctantly congregated in the first farms and cities, people began to rely on novel lootable resources like grain and fish for their daily sustenance. And when more powerful weapons became available, small groups began to seize control of these valuable commodities. This inequality in resources soon tipped over into inequality in power, and we started to adopt more primal, hierarchical forms of organization. Power was concentrated in masters, kings, pharaohs and emperors (and ideologies were born to justify their rule). Goliath-like states and empires - with vast bureaucracies and militaries - carved up and dominated the globe.What brought them down? Whether in the early cities of Cahokia in North America or Tiwanaku in South America, or the sprawling empires of Egypt, Rome and China, it was increasing inequality and concentrations of power that hollowed these Goliaths out before an external shock brought them crashing down. These collapses were written up as apocalyptic, but in truth they were usually a blessing for most of the population.Now we live in a single global Goliath. Growth obsessed, extractive institutions like the fossil fuel industry, big tech and military-industrial complexes rule our world and produce new ways of annihilating our species, from climate change to nuclear war. Our systems are now so fast, complex and interconnected that a future collapse will likely be global, swift and irreversible. All of us now face a choice: we must learn to democratically control Goliath, or the next collapse may be our last.'An excellent survey of human history through the collapses of Goliath-like kings, states and empires' OBSERVER'A comprehensive overview of societal collapse, based on the analysis of dozens of cases spanning thousands of years from the Paleolithic to today. Highly recommended' PETER TURCHIN'A deeply sobering and strangely inspiring history of how societies collapse - and how we can still save ours. Read it now, or your descendants will find it in the ruins' JOHANN HARI'Like reading Thomas Piketty filtered through Mad Max' NEW YORK TIMES

A Human History of Thirst

The Search for Water

Most veterinary professionals carry at least one case they will never forget. Not the textbook case - the one that returns in the small hours, long after the client has gone home.For decades, human healthcare has been having a serious conversation about systems thinking, human factors, psychological safety and just culture. Veterinary medicine has barely begun. The result is a profession that still meets error with blame, leaving good professionals to carry shame, guilt and loneliness alone.The Cases We Carry is not a quality-improvement manual. It is a book about the culture around error in veterinary medicine - how we speak about it, respond to it, learn from it, and live with it.This isn't a manual. It's a reckoning.For everyone who entered this work believing they had to be perfect - and for everyone still carrying a case.

'A rigorous thinker armed with a killer turn of phrase' Observer'Her writing is razor-sharp, personal, and vociferous in its proclamations, but it's also fun - it's got bite' New Statesman'A galaxy-brain-level thinker' Torrey PetersA bold, provocative collection of essays by a Pulitzer winner on one of the most urgent questions of our time: what is authority when everyone has an opinion on everything?This book brings together sharp, illuminating essays on everything from musical theatre to sci-fi novels, as well as an acclaimed tetralogy of personal essays. Throughout, Andrea Long Chu defies the imperative to leave politics out of art, charging fellow critics with complacent humanism and modelling how the left might brave the culture wars with both its faculty of judgment and its sense of justice intact.'A pure joy to read' Claire Dederer'Provocative, beautiful and addictive... I couldn't stop reading' Angela Saini'Thrilling... Authority reminds us we haven't yet felt all there is to feel' Kaveh Akbar
